Madeline King and Grace Pancik are best friends and the envy of Nantucket for their perfect marriages, their beautiful kids, their Sunday night double dates with their devoted husbands. But this summer, somethings changed, and if theres anything Nantucket likes better than cocktails on the beach at sunset, its a good rumor.And rumor has it......that Madeline, a novelist, is battling writers block, with a deadline looming, bills piling up, and blank pages driving her to desperation--and a desperately bad decision...that Grace, hard at work to transform her backyard into a garden paradise, has been collaborating a bit more closely that necessary with her ruggedly handsome landscape architect...that Graces husband, successful island real estate developer Fast Eddie Pancik, has embarked on quite an unusual side project.
